Spatial and Temporal Dependency of NDVI Satellite Imagery in Predicting Bird Diversity over France

Spatial and Temporal Dependency of NDVI Satellite Imagery in Predicting Bird Diversity over France

Continuous-based predictors of habitat characteristics derived from satellite imagery are increasingly used in species distribution models (SDM). This is especially the case of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which provides estimates of vegetation productivity and heterogeneity. Howeve...
